McBride carried the ball 11 times for 34 yards and caught two of three targets for 27 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason win over the Eagles.

The 2023 seventh-round pick missed some practice time earlier this week with a minor knee issue, but McBride was healthy for the Vikings' preseason finale and saw action as the second running back into the game after Myles Gaskin. McBride didn't come off the practice squad as a rookie, and with Aaron Jones, Ty Chandler and Kene Nwangwu all locked into roster spots, the UAB product may not get a chance to make his NFL regular-season debut in 2024 either.

Harris rushed the ball once for five yards in Saturday's 24-17 preseason loss to the Lions.

Harris played on the opening drive with Russell Wilson under center and received his carry on the opening play of the game. He'll likely head into Week 1 as the top choice in Pittsburgh's backfield for early down work, though the team has continuously played down the significance of Jaylen Warren's hamstring injury. If Warren is able to suit up, he would likely cost Harris significant work as a pass catcher as well as some rushing attempts.

Williams (coach's decision) did not play in any of the Rams' preseason games in 2024.

Head coach Sean McVay held Williams and the rest of the starting unit out of exhibition play this season. The 2023 breakout fantasy star was dealing with a minor foot injury early in training camp, but he does not carry an injury designation heading into Week 1 of the regular season. The underlying concern for Williams' fantasy managers is if rookie third-round pick Blake Corum continues to impress the Rams' coaching staff and cuts into the starter's usage this season. Williams remains the No. 1 option for McVay's fast-paced offense after dropping 1,350 yards from scrimmage and 15 total touchdowns across 12 regular-season games last year.

Scott (leg) carried the ball 11 times for 32 yards in Saturday's preseason finale against the Texans.

Scott picked up a leg contusion in last week's exhibition win over the Chargers, but he wound up missing no game time to the minor setback. The veteran backup has rushed for 155 yards on 37 carries in three games this preseason. Scott is looking to make the team as a depth option behind starter Kyren Williams this upcoming season.

Sanders rushed three times for six yards and wasn't targeted in Saturday's 31-26 preseason win over the Bills.

Sanders checked in for the second drive with the backups after Chuba Hubbard handled three carries with the first-team offense on the opening drive. Hubbard looks like the starter heading into the Sept. 8 season opener in New Orleans, but Sanders is likely to mix in occasionally, at least until rookie second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) is ready to play. Brooks isn't expected to be available until Week 3 at the earliest.

Head coach Dan Campbell said Saturday that Reynolds (leg) should be available for the Lions' regular-season opener against the Rams on Sept. 8, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

Reynolds sustained a leg injury during Thursday's practice, which kept him out of Detroit's preseason finale against Pittsburgh on Saturday. He is competing against Sione Vaki for the No. 3 running back role behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Reynolds accumulated 16 rushing yards on five carries over his two preseason appearances.

Hubbard rushed three times for 15 yards and wasn't targeted in Saturday's 31-26 preseason win over the Bills.

Hubbard played the opening drive with Carolina's other starters, while Miles Sanders mixed in later with the backups, suggesting that Hubbard occupies the top spot on the depth chart heading into the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Saints. Rookie second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) could challenge for the starting job eventually, but Brooks isn't expected to be available until Week 3 at the earliest.

Wright is expected to undergo surgery for a hairline fracture in his foot that he sustained in Saturday's preseason game against the Packers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

The injury isn't considered to be season-ending, but Zrebiec notes that the Ravens will now have to make a decision on whether to retain Wright on the roster at the conclusion of training camp. Wright was a strong contender to win the No. 3 running back spot behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, but now his spot on the Ravens' roster is in jeopardy. Between Wright's injury and Keaton Mitchell (knee) still being on the active/PUP list, the door has opened for Rasheen Ali and Chris Collier to compete for the third running back spot behind Henry and Hill as training camp winds down.

Gore is scheduled to undergo X-rays after injuring his knee during Saturday's preseason game against Carolina, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Gore was having a tremendous outing in the Bills' preseason finale, racking up 101 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries before suffering the knee injury. He has been competing against Ray Davis, Ty Johnson and Darrynton Evans (hamstring) for the backup running back job behind James Cook. The results of the X-rays will be a crucial factor toward Gore's chances of making Buffalo's final 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp.

Wright was diagnosed with a broken foot following Saturday's preseason loss to the Packers, Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Wright rushed for 10 yards on three carries in Saturday's contest, but he was carted back to the locker room after injuring his foot. With Keaton Mitchell (knee) still on the active/PUP list, Wright was making a strong case toward winning the No. 3 running back job behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. However, Wright's injury from Saturday's game complicates his path toward a spot on the Ravens' 53-man roster.
